Chapter 815 - 803: Endless Sea (Second Update)
Mao Xize was stunned for quite a while, unable to react.
He even doubted if he had heard wrong.
In their understanding, the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion was absolutely a force that should not be offended.
Normally, they wouldn’t dare to encounter those Ant Clan Beastmen.
For their weaker Cat Clan Tribe, it was an existence as intimidating as a giant mountain.
But suddenly, this terrifying giant mountain in his heart collapsed right before him.
Allowing him to look down upon it.
The feeling was too peculiar.
Qiu Zhezhi looked at Mao Xize with such anger that his eyes almost popped out, his gaze growing colder.
All ants, yet he dared to look at him condescendingly.
Qiu Zhezhi had always enjoyed the feeling of being above others, but being viewed this way made him furious with embarrassment.
"You humble ant..."
Qiu Zhezhi was still trying to curse.
Su Muyao, without nonsense, directly flicked an elixir into Qiu Zhezhi’s mouth.
At this moment, when Su Muyao looked at Qiu Zhezhi, her eyes were filled with icy, murderous intent.
Her aura was even more imposing.
For some reason, when Qiu Zhezhi looked at Su Muyao’s eyes, he felt a sense of intimidation that made him unable to move.
His blood seemed to congeal instantly, with an instinct telling him it was very dangerous and urging him to flee.
But he really couldn’t move.
What’s more, the elixir Su Muyao flicked into his mouth melted instantly.
"Cough cough..."
Qiu Zhezhi wanted to cough it out, unwilling to swallow it, but it was useless.
"What... What did you feed me..."
Even at this time, Qiu Zhezhi tried to resist.
He actually regretted splitting his duplicate earlier.
If his duplicate hadn’t been split, he definitely wouldn’t have been injured.
But something was wrong, the Immortal Phoenix Beastman before him, her strength was already beyond what he could discern.
"Something to make you obedient."
"I don’t have much time. I’m asking you, how did you discover these Immortal Crystal Ores?"
Su Muyao didn’t want to waste any time, only wanting to extract critical information.
Qiu Zhezhi refused to answer, stubbornly keeping his mouth shut.
He even silently mobilized the remaining strength in his body, using Secret Technique to resist the drug effect and neutralize it.
Shen Ci’an stepped forward, saying, "Wife, I can use Soul Searching Technique."
Using the Soul Searching Technique, it would be possible to see Qiu Zhezhi’s memories.
Su Muyao firmly shook her head and said, "No, you’ve just recovered from your injury, you can’t use Soul Searching Technique."
Every time Shen Ci’an used Soul Searching Technique, there would be backlash, consuming a lot of superpower, making him fall asleep for many days before waking up, slowly regaining strength.
As his strength increased, Shen Ci’an’s sleep duration decreased.
But at the same time, soul-searching ordinary Beastmen was simple, whereas those with strong superpowers, or Beastmen with some Secret Techniques, would put Shen Ci’an at greater risk.
Thus, if there’s a solution, Su Muyao wouldn’t let Shen Ci’an get hurt.
Saying this, as if she thought of something, Su Muyao directly pulled out a row of needles and swiftly swept them across, only hearing the sound of "whoosh whoosh" as the Magic Needles directly pierced into various key acupoints in Qiu Zhezhi’s body.
Teng Lixuan watched from the side, somewhat in awe.
Only by witnessing it personally, did he understand how protective Su Muyao was of her Beast Husband.
In his previous understanding, female Animal Beastmen were very harsh towards their Beast Husbands, not caring whether they lived or died, anything the Beast Husband did for the wife was taken for granted, even if wounded while protecting the wife, the female would not treat the Beast Husband kindly.
They might even beat them despite their injuries for doing badly.
Plant-type Beastmen were slightly better, but females were mostly indifferent towards their Beast Husbands.
Unlike the way Su Muyao and her Beast Husbands interacted.
Initially, Teng Lixuan thought Su Muyao was pretending, but over time, he saw that it wasn’t an act.
Their affection was actually very deep.
"Hm..."
Qiu Zhezhi using Secret Technique to resist drug effects and even tried to expel it was completely useless.
He had no idea what method Su Muyao used, it seemed several places in his body were instantly severed from superpower contact, unable to perform any Secret Technique abilities, and his head started to spin.
"I’ll ask you one more time, how did you find this Immortal Crystal Ore?"
Su Muyao asked, and Qiu Zhezhi instinctively replied, "Our Insect Clan Beastmen have been arranging countless clan members to search for remnants of the shattered Immortal Realm, even the shattered Divine Domain."
"All in hopes of finding treasures from the Immortal and Divine Domains, to eventually locate Immortal Crystal Ore."
Su Muyao continued to ask, "Why search for these?"
Qiu Zhezhi explained, "Treasures from the Immortal and Divine Domains, even if casually taken out, can make a family extremely strong."
"We Insect Clan compete internally, we Ant Clan Beastmen naturally need to consider our own clan members."
"But transporting this Immortal Crystal Ore back, I can’t manage that."
"Even though I’m the Eldest Young Master within the family, I’m the least favored because I was framed for slandering my brother, exiled here to mine Immortal Crystals to atone."
Anyway, as an Insect Clan Beastman, these Immortal Crystal Ores are useless to him, the family people aren’t worried about him using them.
Besides, here in the Taixu Secret Realm, the Teleportation Array is one-sided, only family sends them over, he cannot leave.
Upon hearing this, Su Muyao captured the most crucial information.
That there were internal struggles among Insect Clan Beastmen.
Her expression shifted slightly, asking, "Then among the Insect Clan, which is the strongest tribe?"
Qiu Zhezhi replied without hesitation, "Of course, the Golden Silkworm Beastmen."
"Because of the Golden Silkworm Beastmen, the Silkworm Beastman race is esteemed."
"They are what we look up to, also because a particularly beautiful and talented female from our clan married into the Silkworm Beast Clan as a Steward, so we established the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion, making purchasing Magic Artifacts from the Silkworm Beast Clan much easier."
When speaking of the Silkworm Beast Clan, Qiu Zhezhi’s tone was cautious.
Su Muyao was curious about the Golden Silkworm Beastman, particularly about probing information on Sang Yao, "And what about the Golden Silkworm?"
Qiu Zhezhi mechanically answered, "The Golden Silkworm is the most distinguished existence of the Silkworm Clan, even Silkworm Clan Beastmen rarely see the Golden Silkworm Beastman, much less us."
The system listened to this and spoke in Su Muyao’s mind, "It sounds like, if Sang Yao were still around, his status within the Insect Clan would be quite esteemed."
Su Muyao responded, "Maybe, within any tribe there are plenty of conflicts."
"Just like this person, initially the Eldest Young Master of the Ant Clan, because he was schemed against, he was exiled here, naturally he’s not deserving of sympathy."
"But it does indicate a situation, that disputes within tribal families could be severe."
"Moreover, Sang Yao ten thousand years ago was merely a member of a minor Golden Silkworm Tribe on the Cang Beast Continent, needing to marry into Fox Clan."
"At that time, Beastmen despised Insect Clan Beastmen."
Recalling Sang Yao’s experiences back then, Su Muyao fell silent.
Her heart ached for Sang Yao during that time.
Su Muyao continued to ask, "I noticed some Immortal Crystal Stones missing, where did those go?"
Qiu Zhezhi seemed out of control as he explained, "Naturally, they’ve been transported away?"
"Where were they transported, and how were they taken away?"
Qiu Zhezhi replied, "Naturally, through the Endless Sea, transported back to the clan, but the Endless Sea only transports inanimate objects, not Beastmen."
Upon hearing the familiar name Endless Sea, Su Muyao almost gasped.
Even Mei Qingchen and others turned pale, "It’s... It’s actually the Nine Nether Forbidden Land!"
